With predominately silky- oak furniture and floor boards the house has a warm ambience, natural light and catches the breeze. Modern features include air conditioning, flat screen TV, computer-room with 2nd TV and fold out bed and open-style new kitchen. The house has a large outdoor verendah, with views of the mountains and cane fields and includes a dining table, sofa, occasioanl table and barbeque.

Freshwater, named after the freshwater creek that flows through the suburb, is a historic, leafy part of Cairns city (population 120,000). The house is in a semi-rural area and the sugar-cane fields close-by can be accessed for bikes rides and walks to the creek, or the nearby Barron River. A hairdresser, Post Office DVD/Video store and general store are assessed via our back gate. Great restaurants, a deli/cafe and beauty salon are nearby.
